i say shut it down completely and all other chinese apps from here on out. china!
The proposed deal doesn't even come close to meeting what Trump had demanded. How can he approve this?
-Oracle/Walmart only get a minority 20% stake
-The important algorithm stays in China and isn't transferred
-They won't even let Trump skim money off the deal.A deal that keeps ByteDance as a majority stakeholder in TikTok’s U.S. operations will contradict Trump’s earlier pronouncements that the only remedy to a U.S. ban is a sale to a U.S.-based company. TikTok selected Oracle’s offer to be a “trusted technology partner” and a minority stake holder earlier this week over Microsoft’s offer, which had been in talks to acquire all of TikTok’s U.S. assets, as well as in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Trump on Wednesday also backed off his desire to demand “key money” from allowing the transaction, saying his lawyers told him it was illegal.
“Amazingly I find that you’re not allowed to do that,” Trump said. “I said, ‘What kind of a thing is this?’ If they’re willing to make big payments to the government, they’re not allowed because there’s no way of doing that from a — there’s no legal path to do that.”

Oracle CEO is a Trump MAGA donor, so expect Trump to flip on his tough China stance. All talk.
i hope he doesn't flip regardless of that donor.
we need to weed out china from every facet of our economy.
Trump doesn't care what you think.
He cares what his big money donors think. It's all a show.
you could be right... lets hope not but chances aren't good.
Idiot americans dont realize th3namerican companies Google, Facebook, Instagram, all wrote the book on surveillance and use it to make $$$ off ppl
Idiots
Everyone should watch The Social Dilemma on Netflix ASAP
There's a difference between American companies using that data to sell me stuff and this TikTok thing though.
No there isnt
Both do it for $$$
American companies selling me stuff is more legitimate than what could happen with TikTok. But then again, I don't even have a Facebook account because I don't trust Facebook with any of my info (personal data, pictures, private messages, etc.).
Smart man
Me too.
Tiktok is a corporation whose goal is to make $$$ they will behave same as American companies.
Biden will set it right. Your rights are more important to him than corporate money.
i beg to differ. i think most are well aware of bigTech's malfeasance. however, i also think most are too addicted to their dopamine hits of likes, comments, and more.
social media was and is the beginning of the end for any free nation.
It's not as simple as that, Tiktok could be way worse. Read this: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/17/o...-strategy.html
Agree
But I disagree most americans know the truth.
Hopefully that netflix docu will open some eyes
netflix is just as bad imo.
so we should hurt our economy on purpose?
NYT parroting deep state propaganda again
Truth is whatever you are afraid of of tiktok and china is alreafy happening with US companies and US i telligence and deep state.
And if you think thats ok because its the US you are commiting a grave mistake. No government US or China should be doing this. Also remember US is doing it in Europe, Asia, etc.
The solution is A) there should be signed treaties that no government should do this (good luck getting US on the table for that) qnd B) governments and ppl need to fight back the corporations and hold them responsible for affecting ppls psyche.
Possibly. But that doesnt mean you should boycott some of their great do 3ntaries.
Oh and at americans thinking this decision is up to Trump
The decision has already been taken by the deep state. Trump is just a puppet pretending its up to him
lol hurt our economy by getting rid of tiktok? too bad too sad pedo groomers, "influencers", dumb dancing nurses, and "sex workers'. lmao
you wanted to cut more ties than just TikTok
great docu's aren't made by netflix but instead adam curtis.
cut them all! also cut china off completely from anything to do with the USA.
